AN: A little pre-series fun. For those who don't know/don't remember Kathleen is my name for Kurt's mother. Inspired by lyrics from "Last Kiss" by Taylor Swift
Burt Hummel stood against the gym wall watching his girlfriend dance in a group with her friends and their dates as he sipped punch. She looked good. She knew how to move to the music and though he wanted to be out their with her he wasn't willing to make a fool of himself that way. She was the musical one.
The music stopped and a slow song came on. Kathleen slipped off the dance floor as couples paired off and made her way to him.
"I don't want that," she said, as Burt held her cup of punch out to her. "Come dance with me."
"I can't dance," he told her.
"I'll teach you."
"I'll step on your toes."
"Broken bones heal but dancing with my boyfriend will last forever," she countered, her voice lyrical to Burt.
He had no more arguments left. Tossing both cups into a nearby trash can, Burt let Kathleen take his hand and lead him onto the dance floor.
"It's a slow dance, so it's really easy - just hold me close and sway to the music," Kathleen told him as they found an empty spot.
Holding her close he could do. Burt pulled her in, and held her against his body. She fit perfectly there.
"You're not moving," Kathleen told him, her head resting against his cheek as she kicked slightly at his foot with her own. "Just baby steps."
Burt looked around. Most of the other couples near him were sort of just moving in a circle where they stood. Surely he could manage that. Tentatively, he moved one foot to his left and then the other. Kathleen moved easily with him, their bodies staying close.
He could get use to this.
